Using electron configurations, explain why the halogens readily react with the alkali metals to form salts

Chemistry

Alika [10]3 years ago

Halogen react with alkali metals because of their valence electrons. Halogens are just one electron short of being a stable wanna be "noble gas" so they "take or borrow" an electron. alkali metals have one too many valence electrons to be a noble gas, so they "give or lend" an electron.

this is why they are so compatible.
EXAMPLE

NaCl= Na+ +Cl-

Sodium(Na) "gives" its extra electron in order to become stable and Chlorine(Cl) "takes" Na extra electron in order to become stable

Write an equation that shows the formation of the chloride ion from a neutral chlorine atom
jeka57 [31]

The gaining of electron by an atom results in the formation of anion shown by the negative charge on the atom whereas lose of electron results in the formation of cation shown by positive charge on the atom. The atom lose or gain electron to complete their octet and get stable in nature.

The chlorine atom will gain an electron and form chloride anion with one negative charge on it. The chloride ion is more stable in nature compared to the chlorine atom due to complete octet of chloride ion by gaining of electron.

Electronic configuration of chlorine atom is:

[Ne]3s^{2}3p^{5}

By gaining of one electron, electronic configuration of chloride ion is:

[Ne]3s^{2}3p^{6}

Thus, the equation that shows the formation of the chloride ion from a neutral chlorine atom is:

Cl+1e^{-}\rightarrow Cl^{-}

Water (with density of 1000 kg/m3) with the mass flowrate of 10 kg/sec is flowing into an empty tank. The outlet volumetric flow
Montano1993 [528]

Explanation:

Apply the mass of balance as follows.

   Rate of accumulation of water within the tank = rate of mass of water entering the tank - rate of mass of water releasing from the tank

         \frac{d}{dt}(\rho V) = 10 - \rho \times (0.01 h)

      \rho A_{c} \frac{dh}{dt} = 10 - (0.01) \rho h

   \frac{dh}{dt} + \frac{0.01 \rho h}{\rho A_{c}} = \frac{10}{\rho A_{c}}

          [/tex]\frac{dh}{dt} + \frac{0.01}{0.01}h[/tex] = \frac{10}{\rho A_{c}}

                       A_{c} = 0.01 m^{2}

              \frac{dh}{dt} + h = 1

                  \frac{dh}{dt} = 1 - h

               \frac{dh}{1 - h} = dt  

                \frac{ln(1 - h)}{-1} = t + C      

Given at t = 0 and V = 0  

                         A \times h = 0  

 or,                     h = 0

                 -ln(1 - h) = t + C

Initial condition is -ln(1) = 0 + C

                                C = 0  

                So,   -ln(1 - h) = t

or,                      t = ln (\frac{1}{1 - h})  ........... (1)

(a)    Using equation (1) calculate time to fill the tank up to 0.6 meter from the bottom as follows.

                    t = ln (\frac{1}{1 - h})  

                     t = ln (\frac{1}{1 - 0.6})  

                        = ln (\frac{1}{0.4})

                        = 0.916 seconds

(b)   As maximum height of water level in the tank is achieved at steady state that is, t = \infty.  

                    1 - h = exp (-t)

                    1 - h = 0  

                         h = 1

Hence, we can conclude that the tank cannot be filled up to 2 meters as maximum height achieved is 1 meter.

How many moles of Na2Cr2O7 contain 14 moles of oxygen atoms?
sergiy2304 [10]
The number of moles of sodium dichromate from the number of moles of oxygen atoms can be determined through stoichiometry. Using the molecular formula of the compound, Na2Cr2O7, 1 mole of the compound contains 7 moles of oxygen. Hence, 14 moles O2*(1 mole Na2Cr2O7/ 7 mole O2) is equal to 2 moles <span>Na2Cr2O7.</span>
